Vucic: Nobody touched me

BELGRADE – Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic sought to reassure the public about his safety on Sunday, a day after the discovery of a weapons cache hidden near his home that forced police to evacuate him and his family from their residence.

The weapons, which included hand grenades, a rocket launcher, a sniper rifle and ammunition, were found in a trunk in bushes near a crossroads where Vucic’s motorcade normally slows down while heading toward his home. Police on Saturday said the weaponry was first reported by a tipster.

Vucic said Sunday that pending DNA analysis likely will show whether the munitions were part of that surplus, or whether they pointed to something more sinister, as other top government officials have suggested.

Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said a preliminary investigation shows the rocket launcher was used in fighting during the 1991-1995 Croatian war, and that the hand grenades came from Bosnia-Herzegovina, also the site of deadly fighting during that period.

President Tomislav Nikolic described the weapons discovery as “very serious,” and said Sunday that security officials must provide full details about the cache and how it ended up so close to Vucic’s home.

Saturday’s discovery comes 13 years after then-prime minister Zoran Djindjic was assassinated by a sniper outside government headquarters in central Belgrade.

This story is a total fabrication constructed by vucic and stefanovic. It is so transparent that it truly insults the intelligence of the normal serbian citizen.
Two weeks ago 8 police officers remained hidden in a forest near my home for several days to catch a 24 year old man who had come to pick 4 marijuana plants that he had planted last spring.
But it never occurred to vucic or stefanovic to have police hidden near the garage where the car with the weapons was found to see who’d come for it?
These two are either a pair of idiots (which they are) or this story is total BS fabricated to inflate vucic’s fasle popularity.
DOWN WITH THIS REGIME!!
